Though the kinetoscope was first shown commercially by Thomas Edison in the United States in 1894, the first showing in Japan took place in November 1896. The Vitascope and the Lumiere Brothers' Cinematograph were first presented in Japan in March 1897, and Lumiere cameramen were the first to shoot films in Japan. Moving pictures, however, were not an entirely new experience for the Japanese because of their rich tradition of pre-cinematic devices such as gent (utsushi-e) or the magic lantern. The first successful Japanese film was viewed in late 1897 and showed various well-known sights in Tokyo. Early films were influenced by traditional theater - for example, kabuki and bunraku. To this day, Japanese films are strongly influenced by Japanese culture. Most early Japanese cinema theatres employed benshi, narrators whose dramatic readings accompanied the film and its musical score. As in the West, the score was often performed live.
